Soft Boiled Egg with Smoked Beef, Chanterelle Mushrooms, and Truffle Slices

Ingredients:

• 4 large fresh eggs
• 4 oz. smoked beef
• 8 oz. chanterelle mushrooms
• 2 oz. truffle slices
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a rapid boil.
2. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
3. Simmer the eggs for 5 minutes for a soft-boiled egg that still has a runny yolk and slightly firm white.
4. While the eggs are cooking, heat a skillet over high heat.
5. Thinly slice the smoked beef and add it to the skillet, cooking until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes.
6. Remove the smoked beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
7. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chanterelle mushrooms to the same skillet.
8. Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
9. Remove the skillet from the heat and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Peel the soft-boiled eggs and place them along with the smoked beef and chanterelle mushrooms on a plate.
11. Top with thin slices of truffle and serve immediately.

Verdict:

This dish is a rich and indulgent breakfast or brunch option that is sure to impress anyone you serve it to. The soft-boiled eggs have a perfectly cooked yolk that pairs well with the salty and crisp smoked beef. The earthy and tender chanterelle mushrooms add an extra layer of flavor and texture, and the thin slices of truffle make this dish feel incredibly decadent.

Serving Suggestions:

This dish is best served with crusty bread to soak up the runny egg yolk and any leftover sauce from the mushrooms and smoked beef. A side of fresh fruit would also be a refreshing addition to balance out the richness of the dish.
